“The Lady Trend Setters Motorcycle Club”
CLEVELAND — A Cleveland group hopes their roughly 140-mile journey to the state capital on Saturday was a step towards tackling what they say is a nationwide gun violence epidemic.
Tammi MacCannon, one of the founders of the club, said she didn't want to be"that person" who gets a call about an incident at school. Later that month, 19 school children and 2 teachers died when a gunman opened fire at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. The organization tracks all gun violence and in Ohio, found 5,785 deaths connected to shootings in 2022.
Fellow riders joined the Cleveland group along their route and at the Statehouse Saturday. They rallied at the capital, calling on lawmakers to ban assault weapons and focus on keeping firearms out of the wrong hands. Proponents believe the measures will help improve public safety. Groups, like the Lady Trend Setters MC, disagree.
